What a great idea.
I have made wire crocheted necklaces, but never thought of making bangles, I Love It!
Your instructions are wonderful, even someone who has never crocheted before shouldn't have any problems doing this.
Thank You so much for sharing.

Linda;
What a great idea, they would be great to wear on clothes, hats, or purses.
They look like they would be quick and easy, I guess I will have to take a road trip to buy some giant rick rack :-)
I can't wait to try them.
thanks for sharing.

This is a great idea, I have two dogs who go every where with me, they will love these bowls, I will have to make a his and hers.
I do think it would be better to make your own oil cloth though, with a heavy canvas and natural tung oil, which is not toxic.
Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea, and a good way to recycle old magazines and junk mail.
You have inspired me to do more recyling.
You can be sure I will be looking through the house to see what I can recycle and make new by covering it with paper reeds.
Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful idea
I am all for going green and recycling.
I will definetely be making this project.
I would love to win this book to see what other wonderful green projects it has to offer.
Thank you for sharing.

What a cute coaster, you did such a great job.
I can't wait to give it a try, give me a chance to use up all of those buttons I've been hoarding for years.
I can see how it would make a very cute purse also.
Thank You for Sharing.
